Why? Just 'Cause (RWBY x Just Cause Male Reader)

Chapter 20: No Brakes

After Y/N zipline down the hole, the other then follow him down one by one.

Y/N: Let's take a look at this place.

Doctor Oobleck then pulls out a binocular.

Oobleck: Several gunmen armed with assault rifles, there! I found Ruby!

Y/N: Where?

The doctor then gives Y/N his binoculars as he takes a look through them.

Y/N: Yep, and more.

Blake: Torchwick?

Y/N: He's here too. Look's like they're putting something in a train, bombs?

Weiss: Most likely.

Y/N: Alright, let's move!

Meanwhile.

Ruby is being thrown across the floor by Roman while the criminal is laughing.

Roman: Wow! You are much more manageable without that oversized gardening tool of yours.

Ruby gets up and charges at Roman, which he simply sidesteps, sending Ruby stumbling across the floor, causing him to laugh again.

Roman: Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this.

Perry raises his thumb in agreement as Roman laughs and walks over to Ruby and aims Melodic Cudgel at her.

Roman: But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?

Ruby growls and uses her Semblance to escape Roman and starts running for an exit, briefly startling Roman.

Roman: Whoa!

Smiling, Roman stands up, spins Melodic Cudgel in his hands, and aims the handle at Ruby. He fires the handle, which doubles as a grappling hook, at Ruby, catching her by her hood and allowing Roman to pull her back.

Roman: I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear: We're not through here yet.

A massive explosion sounds, causing Roman to look up.

Roman: Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something.

Perry nods and goes off to investigate the explosion just as another one sounds.

Roman: WHAT is going on here?!

A third explosion sounds and multiple White Fang members come running around the corner, some firing at an unknown enemy. Y/N, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Zwei, and Oobleck run around the corner, much to Roman's annoyance. Ruby decides to take this moment to try and escape. She jumps on Roman's shoulders, pulls his hat down over his eyes, and then flees toward her friends.

Roman: Somebody kills her!

Roman and the White Fang members around him open fire on Ruby, which she dodges and weaves between. He then turns angrily to the White Fang member next to him

Roman: Attach this cart and spread the word: We're starting the train.

White Fang Member: But we're not finished!

The thief then pins the White Fang member up against the wall with Melodic Cudgel.

Roman:  Do it or you're finished!

Ruby is fleeing for her life but screeches to a halt as she realizes she's running toward a group of White Fang members. A huge explosion appears behind the White Fang members, sending them flying and revealing Yang and Y/N behind them.
